Synthetic Tartaric Acid Market: Dynamics

Over the recent past, a significant rise in consumption of wines across the globe has been witnessed. In order to cater to this demand and maintain the quality of wines, demand for additives, such as pH regulators, flavor enhancers, to name of few, has been increasing. Synthetic tartaric acid is used as a pH regulator in the wine industry. Thus, due to increasing production of wines across the globe, the demand for synthetic tartaric acid is also expected to increase over the forecast period. Over the years, the bakery segment has evolved in terms of product offerings, which has triggered the demand for various food specialty ingredients. Synthetic tartaric acid is used as an emulsifier in the bakery segment, specifically to maintain product quality and extend shelf life. Thus, any growth in bakery industry will directly impact the synthetic tartaric acid market during the forecast period.

Moreover, in drug formulations, increasing demand for synthetic tartaric acid, as an excipient, for the preparation of effervescent tablets, powder and granulates will be a prominent factor driving the growth of the synthetic tartaric acid market. Furthermore, efforts are being taken by governments and regulatory agencies in developed nations to streamline the approval process for excipients, which will further push the growth of synthetic tartaric acid market. Also, growing use of chemical admixtures globally will fuel the demand for synthetic tartaric acid as a retardant over the forecast period. However, increasing demand for and consumption of bio-based and eco-friendly alternatives in Europe and North America will hamper the growth of synthetic tartaric acid market during the forecast period.

On the basis of application, wine production, followed by pharmaceutical segment, is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGRs of 4.7% and 5.1%, respectively, over the forecast period.
